Touching.

There are many moments in life that can touch our hearts deeply. It could be a kind gesture from a stranger, a heartfelt conversation with a loved one, or a beautiful scene that takes our breath away.

These touching experiences have the power to make us feel connected to something greater than ourselves. They can bring a smile to our faces, a tear to our eyes, or a sense of warmth and comfort in our souls.

Sometimes, it is the simplest of things that can have the most profound impact. A single word of encouragement, a gentle hug, or a helping hand when we need it the most.

These small acts of kindness and love can make all the difference in the world. They remind us that there is still good in the world, and that we are not alone.

When we encounter something touching, it is important to take a moment to appreciate it. To let the emotions wash over us and to soak in the beauty and wonder of the moment.

Because these touching experiences are what make life worth living. They are the memories that we will cherish forever and the stories that we will pass down to future generations.

So, the next time you encounter something touching, don't be afraid to let yourself feel. Open your heart and let the love and kindness in. You never know how much of an impact it could have on your life.

“A book must be the axe for the frozen sea within us. That is my belief.”― Franz Kafka

If the book we read should tune in our deepest emotions, shake them out and extricate them hardly, then this story was the win. There's always a story behind everything, and indeed, a cause. I had thought about reading this book in the earlier years, but this time it was as if fate had chosen for me to do so. The reality of the story, the sense of authenticity in any tale, and the way you feel while being melted and molded by the words, pauses, and stops, is what makes it a great story. And guess what? When it is the story of your mom and every mom, words simply cannot describe the unconditional love a mother can give. I hope it is not too late to realize how your parents have sacrificed and shaped your life. I hope it is never too late, never ever, to live your life and forgive yourself.

I like how the writer gives the sense of hope even after all things ended. In fiction, everything is doable, and your passed away mother can visit you with her warm smile for one more day. But how beautiful it is that in real life, you can spend more than just a day with your mother, touching her warm hands, smelling her pure perfume, and being with her when the world is urging you and telling you to be away. Why are we always waiting for the 'it is too late' moment? This is the essence of the story: appreciate and realize with imagination, and then live.

Thank you, mister Mitch Albom. You always understand me. You always hold that axe that breaks the ice in the sea within me.

What would you do if you were given a precious chance to spend one more day with someone you deeply loved and lost? Would you muster up the courage to ask for forgiveness for the things left unsaid or the mistakes made? Or would you simply soak in every moment, trying to relive the memories and express all the emotions that had been bottled up inside?


Charley "Chick" Benetto is a man who has hit rock bottom. A failed athlete, completely suicidal, and burdened with a mountain of regrets, he seems to have lost all hope. But after yet another attempt to end his life, something miraculous happens. He finds himself back in his childhood home, and there, waiting for him, is his mother who passed away a few years ago.


This book is a powerful testament to the purity and unwavering nature of a mother's love. It reminds us that no matter how old we grow or how far we stray from our mothers, their love remains absolute and unconditional. As I read this story, I couldn't hold back my tears. Mitch Albom has a way of touching the deepest parts of our hearts with his words. He is slowly but surely becoming one of my favorite authors.


So here's to all the mothers out there. Thank you for your boundless love and the countless sacrifices you make for us, your children. Your love is a guiding light that shines through even the darkest of times.

A book that should be read in one's twenties and forties.


And We have enjoined on man kindness to his parents. His mother carried him with hardship and gave birth to him with hardship, and the bearing of him and the weaning of him is thirty months, until when he reaches full strength and reaches forty years, he says, "My Lord, grant me that I may be grateful for Your favor which You have bestowed upon me and upon my parents, and that I may do good which pleases You, and make righteous for me my offspring. Indeed, I have turned to You repentant, and indeed, I am of the Muslims."


And We have not commanded man to be kind to his parents in vain. His mother carried him with pain and gave birth to him with pain, and the pregnancy and breastfeeding lasted for thirty months until the child reached the age of growth and the man reached forty years. He then said, "O Lord of mine, teach me to be grateful for Your blessings that You have bestowed upon me and my parents, and make me successful in performing good deeds that You are pleased with, and make my children righteous. I have returned to Your door and have become submissive to Your command." (15) (Al-Ahqaf)


Footnote: If you haven't watched the movie "Malena" yet, watch it.

What a wonderful book this is!

One day when it was given to you as a gift, you would understand those things that you couldn't understand throughout your entire life! How much I love Mom Check, how kind, merciful, sensitive and excellent this woman is!

Although I had understood almost what the story was from the middle of the book, but this did not reduce the excitement and beauty of the book for me, because its text is beautiful.

At the end, unfortunately, I had a lot of feelings!

I want to read Mr. Mitch Albom's other books sooner than the others:)!

The battle on the mountain is against human nature. When going down, you must be as careful as when going up!


-From the text of the book-


Although the theme of the story has some repetitions (such as a person understanding his close ones in a state of spiritual confusion or reaching certain truths...), but the expression of this theme in the book "Another Day" is different... The scattered memories of the main character of the story titled "The Moments When..." While taking us away from the current flow of time, it helps us get closer to the truths of the story and the roots of the formation of events... And these once-in-a-lifetime insights, in my opinion, have made the simple narrative style of the text more attractive...


The most influential sentences in this book were the parts that paid attention to the child's perception of the personalities of his parents (especially his mother)... These sentences not only made me think about the hobbies and inner personalities of my father and mother, but also challenged me to think about how much we are aware of our child's perception of the details of our personalities and behaviors if God gives us a child?!

This is a truly beautiful and deeply touching mother and son story. It has the power to make you stop and really reconsider how you treat your own mother.

The story unfolds with a series of events that showcase the special bond between the mother and son. Through their interactions, we see the love, sacrifice, and understanding that exist within their relationship.

As we read, we are reminded of the many ways our own mothers have cared for us, supported us, and loved us unconditionally. It makes us think about the times we may have taken them for granted or not shown them the appreciation they deserve.

This story serves as a gentle reminder to cherish our mothers and to always treat them with kindness, respect, and love. It shows us that the relationship between a mother and son is a precious one that should be nurtured and protected.

In conclusion, this beautiful and touching story has the potential to change the way we view and interact with our own mothers, making us more aware of the importance of this special bond.

Well, that really hurt my heart.

But in a strange way, it also made me see life from so many more perspectives.

There are the good aspects, which are wonderful and give us hope and joy.

However, there is also a kind of sadness that comes with it.

It's like realizing that life is not always easy and perfect.

Sometimes, we have to face difficulties and heartaches.

But through it all, we learn and grow.

We become more understanding and empathetic towards others.

And we start to appreciate the little things in life that we might have taken for granted before.

So, even though it hurt, it also opened my eyes to a whole new world of experiences and emotions.

You know?

I have read this book twice, and both times I cried so much that I couldn't continue.

Sometimes we think that only those books that reawaken a part of our life experiences can touch our emotions. However, most of the time, the books that stimulate our emotions are those that make a part of our being, which has a tendency to experience something like the experiences of the book's characters, ignite. A part of our being that wants to be like the narrator of the book but hasn't been able to and couldn't be in that situation.

Maternal love may be a clichéd topic, but depicting clichés in the most beautiful possible way is what happens in the book "For One More Day". A person can understand how a mother who loves her child, a mother who loves her child very much, sacrifices, loves deeply, and loves her child with all her being throughout all the years when the child is growing up and is also oblivious to this love.

The narrator, who spent his whole life in search of love and especially his father's attention, could never properly and rationally respond to his mother's love. And now, in this "one more day", he has the opportunity to respond to his mother's love to the extent of all the lost years of his life. I think that even if I read this book again after this time, although my relationship with my mother is neither deep nor very affectionate, I will cry and cry. Because the soul of every person needs such a beautiful and blind love, and even without expecting a response.

In my diary in 1985, I wrote about this book as follows:

I understood how love can be so deep and save a person from death and bring him back to life. It can keep hope alive in your heart and create peace for you. I, who in some places was really jealous of "Chick Benetto". The only flaw of the book was that it brought out so many of my tears!

The first book that I read and the book that truly made me realize the magic of reading is "For One More Day".

After devouring this remarkable piece of literature, I was completely immersed in the wonderful world of books.

My reading habit underwent a significant transformation before and after reading this book. It made me understand that a book can evoke powerful emotions and even bring tears to your eyes.

I used to have a stereotype that books filled with plain letters and lacking images couldn't be as great as graphic novels or movies. However, Mitch Albom shattered this perception with "For One More Day".

This beautiful story delved deep into the realm of family relations, making me even more sensitive and aware of the importance of those precious bonds. It opened my eyes to the fact that the written word has the power to touch our hearts and souls in ways we never thought possible.

Thanks to this book, I now have a newfound appreciation for the art of reading and look forward to exploring many more literary treasures in the future.

It seems that for me Mitch Albom can do no wrong!


This is my fourth novel by him and I thought it was wonderful! Albom seems to have an incredible ability to take ordinary situations and the inevitable pain of life and make them magical.


For One More Day focuses on Charles (Chick) Bennetto, a middle-aged man with a failing marriage, obscene amounts of debt, and an inner grief he's never gotten over. He hits rock bottom when he is left uninvited to his only daughter's wedding.


We watch as Chick tries to take his own life, and in doing so enters a kind of dream state where he is able to spend one more day with his deceased mother.


Chick is so relatable. He is all of us at some point - unsure of himself, mediocre, desperate for love. So to watch his pain and go through what he goes through is so hard and really hits home.


Mitch Albom has done it once again and I was teary-eyed by the end!


This story is not just about Chick's personal struggles but also about the power of love and forgiveness. Albom beautifully portrays the complex relationship between a mother and son. The way he describes the memories and emotions that surface during Chick's day with his mother is truly touching.


The novel also makes us reflect on our own lives and the importance of珍惜 the people we love. It reminds us that no matter how hard life gets, there is always hope and a chance for redemption.


Overall, For One More Day is a powerful and moving novel that I would highly recommend to anyone. It is a story that will stay with you long after you finish reading it.
